505 GAMES AND ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE UNVEIL
ROLLING STONE: DRUM KING FOR NINTENDO Wii(TM)
New Music Rhythm Game Brings Air Drumming
to Nintendo Wii Consoles This Spring
LOS ANGELES (May 19, 2009) --- Global videogame publisher 505 Games (U.S.) and Rolling
Stone magazine today announced a new music and rhythm game, Rolling Stone: Drum
King for Nintendo Wii(TM). Available at retailers nationwide this spring, Rolling
Stone: Drum King allows gamers to utilize the Wii Remote(TM) and Nunchuk controller
to rock out like some of the greatest drummers of all time.
"For more than 40 years, Rolling Stone has been a staple in the voice of American
music culture and entertainment and we are pleased to collaborate with 505 Games
as we venture into video games for the first time," said Will Schenck, Publisher
of Rolling Stone magazine. "With more people playing console video games than ever
before, this was a natural next step for the Rolling Stone brand."
"We're thrilled to be working with a music and entertainment pop culture icon to
bring some of the greatest music in rock 'n' roll history to this game," said Adam
Kline, president of 505 Games. "This partnership with Rolling Stone puts 505 Games
at the forefront of the growing crossover between music and video games on one of
the hottest gaming platforms available today."
In Rolling Stone: Drum King, players can rock out in single-player mode or duel
against a friend in multiplayer mode by swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller
to the beat of the music. Gamers can enhance their experience with a customizable
avatar complete with a rock 'n' roll drummer personality and put their dashboard
drumming skills to the test with a wide range of drumming styles and music. Aspiring

Ditto.
I can't say I'm too confident about using the remote and nunchuk setup for a music game as well, for the same reasons.
Also, most of the Wii offerings are not that great, so the market isn't really 'dominated' like it is on the PS3/360.
5 Guitar Hero games and 2 Rock Bands with countless amounts of DLC and fucking Rolling Stone DRUM KING gets to do it first.
they get the cover
Lego: Rock Band gets the actual version (as far as we know, at least) whenever it's released
Also, Rolling Stone = automatically ignored for me.
